Module 1 Activity 10: Promoting Discussion

This activity focused on what lends itself to meaningful dicussion as a teaching/learning strategy. The issue of learners talking to one another, listening to each other, responding to what others said and showing development of knowledge, understanding or judgement are evidence that meaningful discussion tok place. My role as a facilitator in ths process is to get the attention of the learners, keep them focused on the learning task, explain things they do not know, demonstrate things for them and guide their learning by asking strategic questions. However, my intervention should be very limited and should only be spurred to keep the learners on task.
